Steering Committee and Board of Directors
GAJE is governed by a Steering Committee (SC) consisting of two representatives from each of 8 regions of the world (one woman and one man) who are elected by the general membership at the biannual GAJE worldwide meetings, and a number of at-large members appointed by the 16 elected members. The Steering Committee, which is also GAJE’s Board of Directors, meets several times a year by email to conduct GAJE business and to direct work conducted by GAJE committees and working groups. Copies of recent Steering Committee meeting reports are available at the bottom of this page.
